As I just received this, I have not had a chance to test it yet, but I thought I would summarize and elaborate on the product title. It does in fact meet all five standards described in the title. This is "in1". In particular, it is not five separate panels, as in the first image featured in the product images. Three (3) items are included in this kit Four-piece accessory kit one zippered case, one diffuser panel and one 4-piece accessory kit The diffuser panel is covered by a zippered cover that has two sides. This is a 4-part series There are four different "finishes" on the four-sided zippered cover Black, white, silver, and gold are the traditional colors. For rigidity, only the diffuser panel has a wire rim, and the 4-gang switch is also mounted on the diffuser panel. If you wish to use the reflector cover as a rigid reflector or shade, you must zip it over the diffuser panel. This being said- I do appreciate the ingenuity of making this a compact set with a smart storage option, even though I was a bit disappointed there were not five individual panels. I have a 24-inch flat screen A panel with a 9" diameter that doubles as a 9" square Zippered case with a diameter of 12 inches. According to my observations, it has a reasonable price and a decent quality so far.
When additional light is needed without a flash, this product is a good option. Below are two photos of the gold disc, one unedited and one without. Clearly, the warmth of the light is very pleasing to the eye.
I have encountered no issues with the reflectors. They seem to be made of quality materials. Compact and convenient, the collapsible ring allows for compact and convenient storage and transportation. My one criticism is that the product image in the listing suggests that there are specifically five The situation is not as it seems. The white one is one of only ONE (the one in the middle). In order to assemble the other reflector rings, the white collapsible ring is inserted into a reversible, two-dimensional ring The slipcover of a reflector has two sides. The black ones work adequately but are not taut like the white ones, and setting it up takes more time than it does with the white ones.
In order to receive a kit with five spring clips, I placed my order for this reflector/diffuser Discs are ringed as seen in the picture provided with the product. There are four discs in the storage bag. An outlining black ring), a diffuser made of white plastic, and I'm wearing it. Basically, the issue is that if you are organizing a natural way to reach your goal - You can stand a light diffuser with clamps, but the bounce shot with 4 feet is so heavy you can't stand it Holding the sided sleeve rather than holding the edge is necessary since it doesn't have a rigid edge. The goal of this particular setup can only be achieved with two kits. Buying a diffuser, reflector, and $0. 25 separately is as good as buying them as a package. Rather than spend 99 white-boards, go for the better quality, cheaper 99 white boards. Furthermore, there was some fabric snagging on the ring surrounding the diffuser of the arm This will eventually cause a tear, based on my experience. The "5-" is returned to me I cannot recommend this product due to its construction, because it comes in a "1" kit, and you must buy separate items With the exception of the storage bag, it did not seem inadequate for its purpose.
I love that they do not add a lot of weight to my equipment bag but are useful to have. Also, they're small in size, about nine inches in diameter. Despite my lack of experience, I would like to become a photographer The best way I can describe myself is to think of myself as an Since I am not a professional, I am unable to comment on the quality of these photos. In terms of price, it is a fantastic addition to my photography kit. It makes it easy to add a bit of reflective light when I'm photographing people. Besides using it for that, you could use it for other things as well A possible product photo shoot would be great! But when I am talking to someone, I tend to use them rather than the flash because I am not a fan of using By using these, I get a more natural appearance, as well as the ability to direct the light where I want it to go. Furthermore, I have the option of controlling both the color and intensity of the light with the different color reflectors. Despite the fact that I use the white ones the most, the gold one does give off a beautiful These are definitely a good option if you are in need of some affordable reflectors or if you just want to experiment. There's no reason not to get it for $12.
My photos got even better thanks to it. I used it at a shoot not too long ago. Before using, however, I would advise that you watch some youtube tutorials on it. Using the shade made such a huge difference for my subject. If I had not used it, they would have closed their eyes from the sun, and there would have been a huge shadow on their faces. You can tell the photo is clear just by looking at it. Despite its size, it's incredibly comfortable.
It has been reported that the zipper broke in some reviews. This is a good set. There were complaints about the zipper breaking from some reviewers They haven't let me down yet in the few times that I have used them. I would suggest that potential buyers look at the size of the property as the most important factor. When they are held by someone and they are standing relatively close to the subject(s), and the subject(s) don't cover too much ground, these work well. In the case of larger groups or items, the reflector must be larger as well. The bags themselves are very lightweight and can be carried by any person When folded up it looks I kept my camera in the outside pocket of my When I buy these again, I will get larger The fact that these techniques work does not mean they aren't effective It is just a matter of finding the right size for whatever it is you want to photograph (consistently). Although I would carry these (along with a bigger set) with me, I would not play.
However, it does suffer from some of the same quality control problems as the others, but it is still perfectly functional. The device is extremely compact once you get used to folding it back into its case. It can fit easily into a backpack of any size. The smaller sets that can be carried easily are much more useful than the larger sets that must be lugged around. While it does open up to 48", it does have a limit of 48". When I use a diffuser on a human subject, I will have to shoot it far enough away so as not to bother them, but this is proving difficult for my lighting budget. A set of reflectors can add a lot to a scene and to a filmmaker's arsenal, so I'd recommend this to anyone shooting in a small room or with a few lights.
